S/O Poll: How many kids do you want?

Re: S/O Poll: How many kids do you want?

  • I want 2 kids, probably 2-2.5 yrs apart.

  • 2 is the limit for us. We will likely try in the fall after Lyla turns 2.
  • Our original plan was to have 2 and if after finding out our first was a girl, we decided that if the second was another girl we would try for one more, if it was a boy, we would be done. Then I was hit with hyperemesis and we made the decision to stop at two regardless because of the absolute hell we went through during my pregnancy. We ended up being blessed with our boy so we have one of each and are done anyway! :)

    Ours are 2 years and one week apart and we are liking that...so far anyway! :)

  • I hope DH and I are blessed with two...we've only been TTC since October 2010...so hopefully soon!!  And we'll probably go 2 to 3 years apart, if it is up to us that is.  I'm no spring chicken anymore!

  • I want 3 children; H wants 2. We'll see if I still want 3 after giving birth! Wink

    I think my sister and I were the perfect distance - 2 years - so we'll shoot for 2-3 years.

  • DH originally wanted 5.  HA!

    We're going to wait until both boys are potty trained before we have another one and we'll probably have 3 or 4.  Pregnancy hates me, so it'll be a few years before I forget about it and want to try again. :)

  • imagegidge:
    I always wanted 3 or 4 (maybe about 2 or 3 yrs apart) but unless we somehow get twins we I don't know how we'd do more than 1 financially -  I think there would have to be a pretty big gap between them.

    Same here. If we do have more than one there will probably be at least a 3 year gap between them.

  • I'd love 4.  We'll see how the finances, endometriosis, and my career decisions in the next few months play into this plan...
